Yes, a bug or rather an area that needs work as jpkg will fail when 
attempting to create a jmod package for a module that doesn't have a 
module version and "jmod install" fails too when you attempt to install 
from a directory with the raw class files (which I assume is what you 
are doing). I suspect this one slipped through because it's only 
recently that javac allowed compiling a module without a version number.
